Search " Hero Grandmother shoots intruder". It's a story about a New Mexico Gramma who protects her granddaughter from a piece of scum that broke in their house. I just saw the story on News Nation. A great representation of a citizen using a firearm for protection. She is very well spoken and used the gun exactly as she should have. I'm sure the press won't publicize it.

I love stories like this! The cops don't want to do anything so WE have to do it. My Mossberg 500 is ready and if I ever have to use it I will.

Your Governor Kathy Hochul says you have a duty to retreat
if an armed intruder invades your domicile & you must surrender
& vacate your home upon the advance of any illegal entry !!

If you use that Mossburg, you'll be spending time in the crowbar hotel !!!

Hard too believe a jury would convict someone for not running away, but it has happened.

Good Going Grandma

Governor Kathy should try that at my house and see how a face full of 00 buckshot tastes.

#4 Buck is a better choice for indoor, close quarters confrontations !!!

# 6 Bird Shot is perfect for indoor use

Anything coming out of a shotgun at less than 5 yards will leave chunks everywhere. I killed coyote at 30 yards with high base 12g 3" #4 lead. I swatted both sides of its neck and that was the end of him. Buck shot is similar to firing multiple handgun calibers in one whack, so the possibility of flyers going into other houses is a possibility if you live in town. Just be mindful of your neighbors when dispatching bad guys.

If look up the story it is a fabrication according to google.

not exactly , yes at 4 feet your good but at 20 feet it gets very marginal

I asked a raccoon actually a few , I could not get any of them to wear the 4 layers of denim for proper testing but since #4 bird shot didn't have the desire effect either I figured it wasn't worth getting bit.

could it be fatal , sure , is it fatal before it can run more and I pump another round in it and it runs some more and I get to the buckshot round I loaded , no

you want to move up to #4buck to really have the the intended effect on your standard trash panda

so if your trash panda is closer to 200 than 20 pounds I admit I am extrapolating the data a bit , but it goes back to anything powerful enough to work well also goes through a couple walls.

Hopefully none of us ever has to put theory into practice.

Go Granny Go...

I feel sorry for most of you that your big worry is how to stop and intruder in your house and what kind of shot is best to use. I’ve never thought about it and don’t have to worry about it.

I feel sorry for those who live in a country that doesn't allow its citizens to own and bear arms against bad guys. I pray to God that it never happens to me, but, if it does I am prepared for it.

Hopefully all those Muslims that Trudeau is importing into
your country won't go off on a non-believer killing spree
& end up breaking into your house sometime soon.

Better to be prepared.

Good luck with that 500 Mossburg. Mine only shoots part time.

do you want to see if I can fix that ?

I see stories like this all the time in the uscca conceal and carry magazines a while back there was one about a old lady that had never shot a gun and was getting robbed she said she needed her inhaler and went under her bed grabbed a .22 lr darenger and shot him perfectly in the head twice

The NRA runs a column in both their magazines titled Armed Citizen for decades now. Each month there are 6-8 current stories about gun owners defending themselves and others from bad guys.
